Russia is continuing to produce Iskander, Kalibr and X-101 cruise missiles, but not at a pace to launch massive attacks frequently.

Quote: "The [Russian] industry [for production of missiles – ed.], unfortunately, is still in operation. Iskander, Kalibr, and Kh-101 – these are the missiles that mainly threaten [Ukraine] at long distances and are high-precision weapons, and in fact, the industry for these missiles is still functional.

Yes, they cannot produce them [missiles] at the same pace as their forces launch them. That is, the use of missiles does not correlate with their production in factories. That is why the number of possible missile attacks is melting away.

At first, there were 4-5, then 3-4, and now 2-3 [massive missile attacks] are left, if we approach this data from a mathematical point of view... Of course, we should take this into account, but neither should we relax. Russia still has a powerful potential and [many] combat aircraft...

We will defend the state and demilitarise [i.e., destroy and kill – ed.] Russian equipment and occupiers."
